I'll be there with StageIan, but unfortunately he's still not able to drive his own car after his bike crash.

Ouch! :down:

Don't know Ian; but I don't like hearing about fellow bike riders being injured; feel better mate.

Cheers, Dale.

Got all volunteers you need? Did a cake get organised ?

Thanks for your Qs ^ ^ ^ keeping us on our toes :thumbsup:

After the meeting 28/8/11, we'll be

* assigning jobs (if anyone is still offering to help - thanks in advance)

* using photos to get quotes for a Stagea Cake

* finalising logistics with Top Secret Imports

* giving feedback to Jason Round at Performance Imports

* giving feedback to the SAU Execs on 7/9/11 Meeting

* posting up Nick's threads in the Events sections of each state Re: 15th Anniversary.

OK everyone, this big meet is on tonight!!! Who's coming along?

Like I said, they're supporting us, so let's support them. There'll be a BBQ going, plenty of give-aways (both from Top Secret Imports, and from Project D Drift School, as well as others), and lots of cars to look at. It should be huge!

will be there.

The police were fine, they'd been pre-warned that the event was happening. They just wanted everyone to stay off the road, which is fair enough.

How long were you there, Iain?

ahhh i wasnt sure, we didnt want to take any risks with our highly defectable volvo station wagons lol

was there for maybe 45 mins. didnt see you there, and i realised i dont have your number either!

I enjoyed it - good to see a range of cars.

Was waiting for there to be a rockclimber sized hole in the side of the building! happy.gif

Looks like a good place to start for the Main game- the 15Th Anniversary!

Yep, would have been kinda funny to watch the rock climber or the Commodore roll off into the building (as long as no-one was injured in the process).

Was good to catch up with Alex, Craig and Ryan, and I'm pretty sure Ian had a good time too. It would have been good for his cabin fever after being stuck inside the house most of the past two months since his bike crash.

Nice of Craig to volunteer helping Ian with the mods for Ian's little red wagon too! :P

Alright peoples, I'm in the process of doing the proper thread for the cruise, and once it's all sorted and ready to go I'll post links to it here and in each of the state Events threads for Queensland, Canberra and Victoria too. So keep your eyes open for it!

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
